dgack 10-31-2007, 11:57 AM Hey, look, Green Bay is letting Koren "K-Drop" Robinson back on the roster, and that guy's an avowed alcoholic. So Williams has a taste for the buffet? Sign him to a min contract and put performance incentives in there.
Why hate on a guy just because Detroit and Chokeland paid him too much? If we can get him for peanuts and he realizes he's got a chance to play for a quality organization, so much the better. I'd think that anybody we sign at WR from now on would realize that there are legitimate opportunities to become a starting NFL WR3...

There's a big difference you're failing to realize.
Robinson has produced on the field, Williams has not.
Guys who produce will keep getting chances while guys that don't produce will not.

I corrected a typo in my previous post; we don't hate the kid, we just don't think he'll be a good NFL wideout.
jbcjr14 10-31-2007, 12:11 PM I think you take a shot on the kid if you can get him cheap. He is HUGE and could do some damage in our inept offense.
Stacks42 10-31-2007, 12:15 PM What can it hurt? Is he going to bring down the locker room morale on offense, somehow I dont think that is possible. Our #1 WR Moss has less than 300 yds through 7 games.
skinsfan_nn 10-31-2007, 12:23 PM Well Randy Moss was let go by the Raiders for not having any heart. Look at him now!
He's not OR never was a randy moss talent! Trashbag!

What it hurts is you have to give up a roster spot for him. Considering that WR is not a huge need vs. other spots like OL and CB, this move would be dumb. He hasn't done anything in Detroit or Oakland, so it's doubtful he would have any impact here especially coming in at the middle of the season.
Schneed10 10-31-2007, 12:45 PM Horrible, horrible idea. Who in their right mind thinks we should pick this dude up?? Are you nuts????
If you want a reason why not, um, how bout production for starters. Point blank, they guy has done squat in this league. THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT. He sucks.
SuperFan99 10-31-2007, 12:57 PM He's still worth bringing in for a looksee tryout . . .
Remember, the Lions kept Redskins great Mike Bass on the practice squad for 2 years and tried to make him a receiver . . .

Good point, I forgot how well our #1 and #3 WR are doing here this season.
BTW, the quality of analysis and conversation in this thread is truly worthy of applause.
We spent, what, 400+ posts debating Bill Belichick's class, but a 6'5", 230 receiver with a 38" vertical once called "college football's best receiver" by the press, who's failed to catch on with two of the NFL's worst franchises is on the street, and the mere suggestion that we could get him cheap is greeted with derision and name-calling.
Seriously, applause, guys. All around. Maybe I need to stick to topics that are a little less controversial. I'll be posting in the "if we just had an O-Line, everything would be perfect" thread from now on.
Former USC Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Carson Palmer: "Mike is a tremendous talent. He's real mature. He's the type of guy who makes quarterbacks look real good. I know that all I had to do was put it up there and he was going to go get it."
Former USC quarterback Matt Leinart: "He's a great, great player. Big, fast, all the things. He makes big-time, big-time plays. He's such a natural, he phenomenal. He's confident. You know he's good, he knows he's good. He's got a real presence about him."
